The Skechers that King Felipe wears to sail in Mallorca: comfortable, minimalist and perfect for walking all day

Posted on 23 August 2026

The Royal family is already enjoying its usual summer in Palma de Mallorca and these days we have seen the King prepare for one of the essential sporting events on his agenda: the Copa del Rey Mapre. A sailing competition that has provided us with a large number of images of Felipe VI getting ready in the port with a comfortable, sporty and relaxed attitude.

This means seeing him with a more casual look than we are used to, leaving formal suits behind to make way for short shorts, cotton polo shirts and sneakers. Precisely the latter are the ones that have caught our attention the most since they point to trends that we have been detecting for months: the comfort above all of the Skechers.

The king also signs up for this viral brand of sneakers that stand out mainly for their perfect design for walking that does not require us to bend down to tie our laces. So much so, that the monarch has changed his style these days for sailing, but not his shoes.
